Iam not a CS graduate. I started with EPI I feel the book teach patterns and algorithms and it organized. Shall I depend on it completely or I should solve CTCI as well ?

Also what tool kit (piece of repeated code or pattern or algorithms) that I can keep in my pocket to solve fast the problems ? Can you give me examples.

I am targeting FANG.
Iam international.

Thanks a lot.

    There is no standardized definition of what is "enough". Some people have cracked G & F with only a couple of weeks of prep, others have failed to get into Amazon after 6 months of prep. That being said, nowadays with everyone & their mothers grinding LC, just EPI or CTCI might not be enough. As for a toolset you should be comfortable with DFS, BFS, recursion, simple DP like LIS, simple Linked list operations & string manipulation, at least.
